If you are staying in Maharashtra and especially in Mumbai, you must have gone to see the “Dahi Handi”. It is wonderful and mind blowing experience to see fabulous human towers and excellent team co-ordination among them. All are focus towards one Goal- To break the Dahi Handi.

We have so many dreams and wishes in our mind. How to achieve the dream is the question. When we give the timeline and adopt some methodology, understand the success factors, the dreams can be converted into goals. If you add the efforts to that you achieve your goals.

Dahi Handi is the goal for team. Consider it as a metophore for your goals. Different people have different Dahi Handi for them. Students must be thinking to score good marks; somebody may dream to get good job; promotions and good increment. Everybody wants to break their dream Dahi Handi.

How the homogeneous team break the Dahi Handi?

Following are aspects of their team skills:

Risk:
If you want to achieve your goal, you need to take the risk. All team members take the risk by making human towers.

Take a risk, but do not be blind. Rehearse and keep balance.

If team could not get that done, they go back, introspect and prepare for the next year.

I must congratulate you on this very important inference you drew from our festival of Dahi-Handi. You must have thought a lot while writing or expressing this article. Now because of your effort, I have started thinking of other festivals and it is really important to give the meaning behind our each festival. It will really become a great idea and any support you need for this, I will be happy to extend the support to you. There are about 25 festivals we celebrate and since there is not joint-family existed, the “knowledge” of celebrating such festivals is no more shared for us and our children. Your idea will help next generation to know importance and logic behind the festivals. Great. Thanks.
